Fort Vancouver Celebrates 250th with Pets and History | Vancouver News

Fort Vancouver turned patriotic with a dazzling 250th birthday bash, where hundreds in red, white, and blue cheered through pet costume contests, historic reenactments, live music, and delicious food. The star of the show? Henry the Pomeranian, crowned “most patriotic” in a dapper top hat and bow tie. Other furry winners included a creative Bernese mountain dog and a shih tzu named mayor’s choice. Beyond the cuteness, guests explored historic gardens, toured the Marshall House, and felt the thunder of musket fire. The mayor and a U.S. Navy veteran delivered powerful messages of unity and reflection, while the day ended with a nostalgic screening of “A League of Their Own” — a perfect blend of history, heart, and celebration.
